Ever feel that you’re surrounded by idiots? Feel like everyone else has
their IQ in the single digits? Then perhaps, you’ve got a case of illusory
superiority! Either that or the people around you really are idiots.
When people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong
conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the
ability to realize their mistakes. Instead of being confused, perplexed, or
thoughtful about their erroneous ways, incompetent people insist their ways are
correct. As Charles Darwin said, “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence
than does knowledge.” These are the people with a case of illusory superiority.
Even with hard facts only 14 members resigned from the ill
fated Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host. Are the remaining members’ real idiots?
Why is it that the remaining members are unable to accept
the reliability of the reports presented at the 8th BOD meeting despite
it being detailed? One of the reasons could be that they have not been handed
the reports presented by the Past President at the 8th BOD meeting.
Anyway, this is how the BOD has been keeping the members in the dark.
Is it possible that one continues to be an idiot because one
is too stupid to realize that one is an idiot?
